One of the truly impressive aspects of the USA is the way absolutely everything is broken. While ordinary US citizens live in a Disney fantasy-world, utterly ignorant of the appalling reality all around them, the fact is that systemic dysfunction runs through every single aspect of US life. It is literally impossible to identify a single aspect of US life that isn't fundamentally opposed to humane and civilized values. Even Russia, mired in kleptomaniac corruption, has fewer things wrong than the USA. It really is "the greatest nation on Earth" when it comes to being totally broken.
